All over the world, companies are seeing a rise in fake job applicants. You may have experienced it yourself: dozens of near-identical resumes arriving within hours, or candidates who refuse to turn on their camera during video interviews. Remote hiring, global talent pools, AI-generated resumes, and increasingly sophisticated fraud networks have profoundly changed the hiring landscape. Traditional hiring processes were never built to defend against the types of candidate fraud we’re seeing today.

As cloud applications, SaaS platforms, and GenAI tools shape most modern workflows, one physical channel presents an ongoing risk: removable media. USB drives, external devices, and other portable storage remain some of the easiest ways for sensitive data to leave an organization and some of the quietest ways for threats to enter it.

Security teams are entering a new phase of risk driven by the combination of AI agents and broad access to internal and external data. Agents are no longer limited to responding to prompts. They read files, pull documents from shared repositories, query external sources, and move information across systems on behalf of users. This shift brings real business value. Knowledge becomes easier to access, workflows move faster, and information that once required deliberate effort can be surfaced instantly.

For years, businesses have treated public key infrastructure (PKI) as background plumbing, quietly securing access across enterprise systems and devices, and rarely drawing executive attention unless something failed. New research from the Ponemon Institute suggests that those assumptions no longer hold.

A survey by the World Economic Forum (WEF) found that 47% of organizations cite the advancement of adversarial capabilities as their top concern surrounding generative AI. These capabilities include phishing, malware development, and deepfakes, all of which are increasingly accessible due to AI tools. Additionally, 42% of organizations experienced a successful social engineering attack last year, and the researchers expect this number to rise as AI-assisted social engineering grows more advanced.

While organizations invest heavily in stopping threats from entering their networks, a critical vulnerability often goes underprotected: sensitive data leaving the organization through email. Every day, employees send thousands of emails containing confidential information - patient records, financial data, legal documents, and personally identifiable information (PII). And every day, some of those emails go to the wrong recipient.

If you’re like most companies we work with, you’re awash in opportunities (and a bit overwhelmed with pressure) to adopt AI. Of course, integrating new technologies means more data to manage and systems to monitor.

Would you leave your wallet on the street and hope nobody will touch it? No, you would not. Then why would you risk living in 2026 without having a reliable and efficient computer antivirus protection? Do you know that cyberattacks have quadrupled since COVID-19 hit the world? Ransomware, malware, and phishing attacks are multiplying daily; they have become like a tsunami that destroys everything in its path.

In our increasingly digital world, your laptop is more than just a device — it’s a vault of memories, a workspace and a lifeline to your personal and professional life. Imagine losing years of photos, critical work documents, important research, critical data, or important documents in an instant. This nightmare scenario is precisely why laptop backup software isn’t just a luxury, it’s an absolute necessity.

Managed service providers (MSPs) manage multiple client environments at the same time. It’s not an easy task, as threats move quickly and alerts never stop. It poses a big challenge for human-only SOC teams to handle such huge volumes of alerts and threats. This is where AI SOC changes how security operations are conducted for MSPs. An AI SOC uses artificial intelligence to monitor activity and identify threats in real-time.
